...At least in my opinion. So I'm out today cleaning up the engine bay on the new baby.
When I bought the car I only glanced at the strut towers looking for rust. Today, I start cleaning them.
What the hell? In the past, someone had apparently drilled out the mounting holes and moved them outward, I'm guessing to
induce a tad more camber. This on a car that was driven by old ladies its entire life! Sigh...
